,Pre J'a t e Asserts Pop e Is Center Of CotholDC Unity SAN ANGELO (NC) The center of worldwide Catholic unity, guarantee of apo!'tolic succession and the true power and authority lies in the Pope, Bishop Thomas K. Gorman of Dallas-Fort Worth emphasized in a sermon at the consecration and enthronement of the Most Rev. Thomas J. Drury, first Bishop of the newly erected Diocese of San Angelo in Sacred Heart Cathedral here in Texas. Bishop Gorman said that a "thl'cefold apostolic visitation" had come to San Angelo - the erection of the new diocese, the . consecration and enthronement of iIs first Bishop. He traced the succession of bishops of today back to the time of the Apostles. "Through long centuries of controversy and bitter strife, when uncertainty about Christ's true doctrine beat upon the minds of Christian men, when falsehood and bitter heresies raised their ugly heads, men bav~ looked to Rome for guidance toward the truth of Christ and protection from the wiles of erro~," Bishop Gorman said. "Long ago, in the midst of swirling controversy, when men struggled to know where was truth, where the Church, where the center of unity, where the government of Christ's true Church lay, a great doctor of the ChUl'ch cried out suceincUy and penetratingly, 'Ubi Petrus. ibi Eeclcsia.' Where Peter is, there is the Church. "Look for Peter and you will find Cluisk's Church, and where can Peter be found save in his successor, the Pope, the Bishop of Rome, divinely appointed guardian of truth in the matter of faith and morals?" Bishop Gorman continued. He said that today when the world is beset "by thle storms of controversy and the attacks of error, seeking to undermine Christian fGUndations. we must look to Peter to find the Church, , to John XXIll, his successor and 'like him vicar of Christ, for assurance of Christ's truth."
